How to install Clock Work Mod Recovery 2.5.1.8

These are instructions I have found on various sites as to how to install
ClockworkMod Recovery.

This is a step by step guide so you must make sure you do not miss any steps.

1. You must be rooted.

2. You must be able to copy files to your SD card. If you don't know how to do this you must find out first before attempting this procedure.

3. Download and install Android Terminal Emulator from the Market - Free

4. Create a directory called recovery on your SDCard.

5. Unzip both the recovery.zip and the flashimage.zip attached to this post. Unzipping these will yield 2 files. Recovery.img and flash_image.

6. Copy Both files to your SDCard in the directory /sdcard/recovery
If your SDCard is not in your phone, insert the card before continuing.

7. Open Terminal Emulator and execute the following commands.

$su (enter)

#mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard (enter)

#cd /sdcard/recovery (enter)

#./flash_image recovery recovery.img (enter)

The flash will take approximately 3 seconds

8. Power off the phone.

9. Holding the UP Volume button and END call button and then the power button will boot your phone into recovery mode. From their you can make a backup of your Phone.

The following is for those who plan to install the Icarus Mod:


IMPORTANT: Before partitoning your SDCard for Icarus, make a backup copy of the card, as the partition command will erase the SDCard.

Now you copy the IcarusMod zip file to the card and using the install zip file menu item in the recovery menu.

You should now be ready to install Icarus.

I have people PMing me for the step by step instructions on how to flash the CWR. I created this thread so that they can find the instructions easily as on the Icarus Thread they are mixed in with Icarus stuff.

 

[Jazziette]

Yes, I understand. I thought before I posted and I had that in mind while writhing my post. I am not saying that you are wrong, or to take out parts from your post, I am saying to add a note saying: If you are planning on installing Icarus using the How To Install Icarus thread, disregard this post or something like that so people won\\\'t have to do it twice, on here and one for the Icarus installation.

I planned to do that actually but I did this stuff at 5AM this morning and some thing just simply 'eluded' me.

Are you missing a step somewhere and are you using the instructions for the correct carrier?

Go here and follow the directions (to the letter) for installing CWR. They are in the first post:

The Icarus is like a different OS in a way. The CWR is a recovery rom.

Ok, I know what OS is, but could you explain what a recovery rom is???

 

[Jazziette]

Ok, I know what OS is, but could you explain what a recovery rom is???

It's basically self explanatory...but to attempt to explain it, it is a custom R.O.M. (read only memory) that allows you to basically back up in a very unique and specialized way, your entire system. This was created for two reasons: 1) to make it safe for users who are modding their phones to be able to boot into clockwork recovery to safely return their phones to normal and also as a preparation for other custom R.O.M.s

This may not be the most accurate definition out there but it's the best, as I understand it, example I can give.

Anyone who wishes to either change or embellish upon it...please be my guest.

So, I should install clockwork in case I mess up doing mods??

 

[Jazziette]

So, I should install clockwork in case I mess up doing mods??

When flashing or installing custom mods - you should #1 trust the source
and #2 Do exactly (to a tee) as the dev of the mod instructs, not missing a step. If it is specified that you install CWR you should make sure it is the correct version and do it just as the dev states.

The CWR version that you can d/ld to your phone via Rom Manager is not the same one that I am referring to.

That's all. I don't know anymore on this topic.

Fair enough Jazz. I've just been reading a lot of people are very happy with the Icarus and was thinking of trying it, but then seen this post about Clockwork and wanted to make sure one wasnt needed for the other

The Icarus is awesome for those who have installed it correctly, even with the slight glitch re: mms. The dev will specify which version of CWR is needed for each custom rom, including Icarus (of which there is now more than one version).

 

[rlugo29]

Cool!! Once again, thanks for the help.

 

[Jazziette]

You're welcome. I don't think I've been that much help but I tried! LOL

I don't have access to a computer currently so do you have to have a computer in order to have clockwork recovery mod on the acsend? And what do I have to do if I don't thx.?.?

It depends on why you want CWM. If you only want it so you can do a recovery you can get it by getting the app called: Rom Manager from the market. It has an option for creating CWM Recovery. But don't attempt any other mods with it. To do that you will need a computer and a different CWM.

If you don't have a computer you will not be able to install any custom roms.

Maybe you can borrow one from a friend, in the event you need it for an upgrade or custom rom.

For those of you that are not familiar or comfortable using the terminal on your phone or having problems installing cwm via terminal, here's a guide on how to flash cwm via your desktop pc.

*Note* Phone must be in debugging mode- Go to Settings > Application settings > Development and check USB debugging.

1) Download the CWM Recovery file located at the bottom of this post and unzip it to your desktop

2) Attach phone to USB

3) Power Phone Off

4) Enter Fastboot (press End Call + Volume Down while powering on the phone). Your Huawei Ascend will boot to a white background with the Huawei logo in the center.

5)Run the script relevant to your OS from the CWM Recovery folder that you extracted earlier.

A) For Linux users - Run the "install-recovery-linux.sh"
B ) For MAC users - Run the "install-recovery-mac.sh"
C) For Windows users - Run the "install-recovery-windows.bat"

6) When you run the appropriate script, you will see a command prompt window open and disappear. When the window disappears, CWM is installed.

7) Now take the battery out of your phone for 10 seconds and replace.

Now you are able to boot into CWM recovery. To boot into recovery, press Send + Volume Up while powering on the phone and keep Send + Volume Up pressed while booting. Now you should be in CWM recovery.
